Anti-abortion debate divides nation

However, on the issue of amending the Constitution to protect life since conception society is divided. The Sejm will handle this issue soon, however, the idea has already strongly divided deputies. The right-wing is divided among those in favor of protecting life and those in favor of protecting dignity since conception, while leftists strongly oppose any change and plan to fight for a referendum that would approve any amendment in the Constitution. One in ten Poles have no opinion on the matter, so politicians will have to fight for their votes if the necessity arose. According to some commentators, following the change in Constitution the rightists could work on making the anti-abortion law even more rigid, while if the Constitution remains unchanged leftists could liberalize the law.
